Beware of all enterprises that require new clothes. I love this. I have never been one for dressing up in fancy togs. Clothes are utilitarian, they provide a purpose, a uniform. The last piece of clothing I had to buy was a gi, and even that I got from Vinted. It’s a belter though and I really like wearing it. I’ll get through with what I’ve got. What I do seem to wear out is shoes though. This year I’ll probably need a new pair of walking boots and will definitely need a pair of wellies for the winter. My running shoes have seen better days and may not be any good when its wet but they should last a few hundred miles yet. Hopefully.
Even my main trainers, black Nike Air Force Ones for anyone that cares, size 10 with the white swoosh, look a bit shit just now, but maybe I’ll just get a new pair next summer. I like to run shoes into the ground, quite literally. I had to hang up my last pair of Meindal walking boots with reluctance when there was no more edge on the sole, and this is probably quite important when walking in the Cuillen, hence my newer pair. But even they’re coming to the end of their life. But as far as looking dapper, forget it, not interested. I’ll need to spruce up for a wedding this year and the Knights of Malta Ball and that’s it!
